 Mark Peterson/ReutersEven in the closing stages of Donald Trump's hush money trial, there's seemingly no end to the drama.
Defense witness Robert Costello—a former federal prosecutor called by Trump's attorneys as they seek to undermine the credibility of the prosecution's star witness, Michael Cohen—will be back on the stand Tuesday. His return comes the day after extraordinary scenes in the Manhattan courtroom that prompted Judge Juan Merchan to repeatedly rebuke Costello for his "contemptuous" behavior, even threatening to strike all of his testimony.
After Cohen finished his fourth day of testimony, jurors heard from Costello—a lawyer who once advised Cohen and acted as a backchannel between Cohen and Trump's White House in 2018.

 Reuters/Evelyn HocksteinHunter Biden's lawyers motioned Monday to again ask a judge to push back his federal gun trial that's slated to begin next month in Delaware, arguing in part there's no need for the case to push forward so quick.

 TIMOTHY A. CLARY/GETTYA cadre of MAGA loyalists who had gathered to show their support for Donald Trump during his hush-money trial was shouted down by a bevy of cowbell-clanging anti-Trump protesters on Monday when they tried to speak outside of a lower Manhattan courthouse.
In what has become a familiar scene, several of the former president's allies appeared in New York City on Monday to rail against Trump's prosecution and demonstrate to the 2024 White House hopeful their utter devotion to him. In recent days, a number of wannabe vice-presidential candidates and MAGA lawmakers have made the trek to curry favor with Trump and help him circumvent the judge's gag order.
The group that flanked the twice-impeached ex-president this time around included South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, former New York police commissioner Bernie Kerik, ex-Trump administration official Kash Patel, Trump senior advisor Jason Miller, and Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA). All but Patel, meanwhile, were customarily decked out in Trump's standard red tie and navy suit combo.
